1999 Chevrolet Tracker Suspension Problems

“Driving on highway when the front suspension began to shudder violently. Applying brakes caused vehicle to swerve to the left. Inspection showed that front control arm mount had separated completely from the crossmember due to corrosion. Called Chevrolet customer service and was told in carefully parsed words that according to my VIN there was no coverage or recall despite what I have found on lin: special coverage adjustment - front suspension crossmember corrosion #06186 - (10/17/2007) 1999-2004 Chevrolet Tracker.”

“Came to a stop at a stop sign and heart a pop. Tracker would then pull roughly to the left when brakes were applied. Upon inspection it was discovered that the passenger side of the crossmember broke where the inner suspension attaches. Called several dealerships and this is something that is not covered on a recall for this year vehicle. Found several forums that complain of the exact same problem on various years for the chevy Tracker. This is very unfortunate since I am quite fond of my Tracker and rely on it for work and travel with my children, especially in winter months. …”

“No accident resulting. Vehicle handling affected as well as braking, car was taken to a repair shop. The front cross-member, right side, where the lower control arm is secured rusted and broke in 2 pieces. Causing loss of control.”

“My complaint isn't the failure of the items on the truck. We purchased this truck from sands on broadway. The truck was lifted when we purchased it, we asked the finance person who was selling us the warranty if the warranty covered everything since the truck was lifted. He said yes and went as far as assuring us that it would even cover the over sized tires. We made it clear several times that we did not want the truck if the extended warranty didn't cover a lifted truck. We were assured that it would cover the truck even though it was lifted. So we purchased the truck on 1/25/03. …”

“When putting on brakes vehicle will just slide unless driver presses brake pedal to the floor. Also, vehicle vibrates in the back. Dealer replaced axle, but problem still exists. At times, when stopping consumer has almost rear ended other vehicles because car won't stop.”
